Louis Cyr, Strongman
Louis Cyr, famed Quebecois strongman who was for some
time with P.T. Barnum's Circus, is said to at one time
have pushed a loaded cargo car up a steep hill by himself.
Submitter comment:
Louis Cyr was married to the cousin of my
father's mother. She liked to spread impossible
stories about unrecorded feats of his.
